Mangaluru, Feb 26, 2018: Education and technology while contributing to individual as well as societal development, should also contribute to the progress of the nation, said Prof. Subra Suresh, Padmashree Awardee and President of Nanyang Technological University, Singapore.

He was delivering the 36th Convocation address of the Mangalore University held at the Mangala Auditorium of the University on February 26, Monday.
